Ask HN: What do you do about API keys?

Hacker News - Sat, 09/12/2026 - 12:11am

Having them in plaintext always seemed like a bad idea. Forget agents accidentally reading .env; any random package you get from the AUR can trivially read all your keys.

Ideally you'd have read permissions restricted to users/groups that need it, but since most software that needs it is under the user UID, I don't see how this would work.

Just testing my memory safe web browser

Hacker News - Fri, 09/11/2026 - 10:05pm

WebKit MiniBrowser compiled with Fil-C on top of Linux userland compiled with Fil-C. GTK4, Weston, etc - all compiled with Fil-C.

Posting this both because y'all might find it interesting and because I'm doing QA after having GLM-5.3-flash rebase memory safe glibc from 2.40 to 2.44.
